Lucky Charm Quilts

I was honored to be selected to be one of the Moda All-Stars to participate in this new book. Inside you will find 17 different quilts that use either 1 Charm Pack™, 2 Charm Packs™, or 3 Charm Packs™. Because I always look for the easy way out - my quilt uses 1 Charm Pack™ and some added bits and pieces you all have in your fabric stash.

This Tea Time quilt used 1 red and white Charm Pack™, 2/3 yards red for piecing and binding and 1/4" yard of linen.

There is much to choose from

I was particularly enchanted with Carrie and Tammy's quilt.

It used Grand Traverse Bay Charms with a red Moda cross weave. On the strength of this quilt I just ordered a bolt of that cross weave. Expect to see it in future quilts.

Make a comment about Martingale, Moda All-Stars, Charm Packs, luscious woven fabrics, or anything at all and you will win a copy of this book - and a few Charm Packs™. Just comment before midnight Sunday March 26th.

Also go to the Martingale Blogto enter their give-away for lots of Charm Packs™.

I did not know that Moda had a woven fabric! I love David Textiles woven fabrics and I'd bet my boots that Moda's would be just as wonderful. I will be looking for them in my LQS! I must say that I don't usually buy charm packs per se. However, being a lover of scraps, I frequently chop up fabric pieces into 5" squares. Thank you for the opportunity to win this new book from Martingale. It looks fabulous!

I have been looking forward to the release of this book. I intend to make your quilt as well as Carrie's. This series of books has been very inspiring! My plan is to make several colors of your quilt to use as additions to baskets of goodies I bake for my friends. Always love to give a two-fer! Colleen Coffman

I love MODA fabrics - I always know I can trust the product. and it is very fun to get new ways to combine the precuts. My fingers are crossed because I love all things Minick/Simpson, so more is always welcome!!!! I also, may need to order some red cross-weave..that is fun.

I love Moda fabrics. I pick up charm packs and fat quarters more than I buy yardage. I pull out a charm pack and get to creating. I would share the book with my 4-H quilters! Thank you for sharing the wonderful creations!

I love your Tea Time quilt. And thanks for pointing out Carrie and Tammi's quilt with the red crossweave. I've been too distracted by the black crossweave to look at the other colors and I love the red with the Traverse Bay fabric. I think this Martingale book would be fantastic for scraps too!

What a winning combination--Moda fabrics, fabulous Moda designers, Charm packs and clever quilt patterns!! And all for the support of a charity. Thanks to all who contributed to the Martingale book. clara-chandler@att.net

Your little charm pack quilt is, well, charming! I haven't used charm packs that often but do like simple and clever patterns! How fun to join other great designers in this book. Thanks for the chance to win.

Just ordered some Grand Traverse Bay (a charm pack, jelly roll and yardage,) now I am thinking I am going to have to get some of that red fabric as well. Rosie is a bad, bad influence on me and my wallet. :o)

Congratulations Laurie on becoming a chosen Moda All Star but then we don't need Moda to tell us that ! I am going to keep on swimming in hopes of becoming a winner in one of your special giveaways! All the best to you ! Love your fabrics!

I have LONG been a fan of pre-cuts and it seems "nickel" charms are the most versatile in the quilts I make. This looks like a GREAT book. Glad to hear I am not the only person who will order an entire bolt of fabric for a "basic" when they fall in love with one! Linda
